How many troops will * have to pull out of Baghdad to secure oil fields?
This is like the proverbial sinking ship. The crew desperately runs from one new leak to another trying to keep the boat afloat. But the manpower and resources aren't there to save the ship and crew.

Its clear that we don't even have enough troops to keep Baghdad, Fallujah, and other Iraqi cities safe. If we move significant numbers of troops from the cities to the oil fields, chaos and pandemonium will rule in the resulting vaccuums. Because of horribly poor planning and inflexibility in his dealings with the international community, * has endangered our soldiers and this country. Its getting worse with every passing day. HE MUST BE STOPPED THIS NOVEMBER.

2. Can you imagine getting drafted
and sent off to protect oil pipelines our colony in Iraq?
This reminds me of the beginning of the build up in Vietnam.

Eventually the cost is going to get too high.
